Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 98 The Favor of "The Fool" and whose Tarot Card
The colder it is, the more attractive the bed is to people.

For Detective Sherlock No. 15 on Minsk Street, this was a very ordinary morning. He had no specific arrangements for the morning, so he had no reason to crawl out from under the warm quilt.

It's still a few minutes to nine o'clock, um, another 5 minutes...

Klein turned over in a daze, and suddenly, illusory and layered ravings appeared in his ears, interspersed with weak and painful prayers.Regardless of the babbling that came out of nowhere, Klein was very familiar with that praying voice, which made him jump up from the bed in a jerk, and saw the four black spots protruding from the back of his hand.

The one who prayed to "The Fool" was Esther! ?

Why are you so reckless!If she meets an evil god, she will be miserable! ?
Klein was a little annoyed, but more worried, he immediately took four steps backwards and came above the gray mist.

However, what made Klein frown was that it wasn't a newly emerged crimson star that was constantly babbling, but the ball of light that had been a "lighter" on the top of the "Fool" high-back chair for a long time.

This light... really has a connection with her?Could it be that the gray fog here is the source of our crossing?
Klein raised his hand, and the ball of light that constantly wafted out raving halos and prayers immediately flew down under his thoughts, suspended safely in his palm, and after he took it off, it was no bigger than those representatives How big are the crimson stars of the members of the Tarot Society.

After Klein was promoted to "Magician", he was able to freely control the position of the ball of light, but it hadn't shown any ability, nor would it actively respond to any of his commands, so he didn't know what to do with it.The most intense reaction from the light ball was the moment Amon wanted to put his hand into the gray mist, and Klein continued to hang it on top of his head as it was, in case someone would try to invade the gray mist one day.

But today its situation is very strange. Klein can see the scene displayed in the light sphere, which is similar to his usual observation of the members of the Tarot Society through the crimson stars, except that Esther, whose body is constantly trembling, emerges inside.

With just one glance, Klein made up his mind to try Estella in the gray mist.

Otherwise, with Esther's current situation, something will happen to her when the many weird crack symbols appearing on her body are fully formed!

He covered the shell of the ball of light with his hand, frantically pouring spirituality into it.

-

A pale yellow light enveloped Esther's perception.

She was full of despair, could it be that the ball of light in her mind exploded completely and wanted to take her life?
But then the soft light dissipated, and the goal was a large area of ​​gray mist, towering and magnificent stone pillars and domes, and a long bronze table surrounded by 22 high-backed chairs. Everything here looks ancient and mysterious, which makes people feel There will be subconscious awe.

At the top of the long table, a figure was shrouded in thick gray mist, and its appearance could only be barely discerned. It seemed to be a man in a black formal suit of Loen style and a half-height silk top hat.That should be a detached existence, His eyes fell through the other end of the gray fog, making Esther tense her body instinctively.

She saw that the existence was holding a transparent ball of light in its hand, and the light inside was exactly the same as the light spots in her hair, and Esther could confirm this.

The buzzing voice in Esther's mind could not be heard at all, and she seemed to be completely isolated. Her ten fingers were put on her knees, opened and closed, feeling the mysterious state of her body, as if she was between reality and reality.

So the one above is the "fool"?
Esther didn't dare to look at the other person all the time, so she could only glance over from the corner of her eye, quietly waiting for the "fool" to speak.

Klein no longer had such worries. He looked at Esther's projection suspiciously - her figure was too solid, not as illusory and hazy as other members of the Tarot Society. Esther's appearance She was not covered under the light yellow light like others, but displayed clearly and meticulously across the long table, as if she herself was sitting here.

Next to her seat "World", when it appeared, it was at the opposite corner far away from Klein. Klein observed the high-backed chair behind Esther:
The upper line wanders to outline a circular symbol as a whole. The thin lines on the periphery are connected with small circles, and the circles with pointers that symbolize "time" are also connected in series. In the center of the overall ring, It is a tentacle that is curled up like a whirlpool.

This is the symbol of the fellow's "thief" path...

Seeing that Esther held back her words for several minutes, Klein had no choice but to speak first: "Is that you praying to me?"

Hearing the deep voice from the gray mist, Esther also breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that the other party was an evil god who couldn't communicate, and would kill her directly. Not to mention that she has something to ask for.

Fortunately, the other party's mood sounded very peaceful, and she didn't seem to be offended by her.

"Yes, what should I call you?" Esther didn't look up again. She knew that there were many things that she shouldn't investigate. No matter who the existence in front of her was, she might not be able to peek into it.

"You can call me 'The Fool'."

I really want to thank Huiwu for saving me from pretending to be a god in front of my fellow villagers.Klein rejoiced in his heart.

Esther silently recited the title twice, confirming that in her memory, or in the conversations with the night in those dreams, no one seemed to have mentioned this existence.Is he really a new god?

"Dear 'The Fool', I was troubled by an ancient god, and I chanted your honorable name to myself, hoping to seek your help."

"What price can you give?"

Esther took a deep breath: "I heard that the god lurking in me has the special ability of 'anchor', you can take this opportunity to control him, or you need me to do anything, I can do it This is in exchange."

Klein let go of the ball of light in his hand, letting it continue to float in front of him, with his elbows resting on the armrest, his hands slightly crossed in front of him, and he shook his head leisurely, "Even if I ask you to dedicate your soul? "

Esther shuddered, gritted her teeth and continued: "If that hidden god wants to achieve a complete 'divine descent' on me, I don't think my soul can still exist. Well, physically, I don't want to lose my sense of self forever."

Klein was silent for a few seconds. He didn't expect Esther's words to be so firm, as if she had obtained enough clues to allow her to confirm that the situation was so bad.

Klein's thoughts were running fast, but for a while, he couldn't think of any way to help her. It was impossible for him to fight Li Xing, even if he used the card of blasphemy to pry the fog to create a paper angel, which could be compared to a "god". Does the occult exist to contend?
Klein wasn't sure.

He said slowly: "Aren't you afraid that I will use you in the same way?"

When the question came to Esther, she clenched her fists tightly, and after a long psychological struggle, she let out a long breath: "I can't hide from you. I'm scared, quite scared. But I don't want to give up, nothing Do."

Just be afraid, don't just pray to unknown existences!Klein complained a few words in his heart, but he also felt quite a headache about this matter with the fellow.From the point of view of the Orthodox Church, characters like "God's Descended Vessel" must be eliminated, and it is impossible for them to provide any help. Klein is even more unwilling to let "The Fool" into the official line of sight.

"You are lucky, I don't need another container." Klein's voice was very soft, and he quickly thought about how to reply so as not to lose face of "The Fool", "However, your soul is useless to me."

The ups and downs in a sentence made Esther feel dizzy.She remembered the intense fear that the light ball had caused when she chanted the name of "The Fool", and only wanted to seize this opportunity.

At least she has to find a way to stay by this "fool"'s side, so as to delay the time when her body is occupied, and then find other ways to get out!

"Great Mister Fool, I beg you to allow me to become your believer and follow you, this is enough."

Klein's brows hidden under the gray mist frowned again. The fellow's request made him a little puzzled. Why did she say that?Did "The Fool" affect the radiance on her body?

He glanced at the ball of light in front of him, feeling the clearer light inside, and suddenly had a slightly crazy idea.

But if he wants to practice this idea, I'm afraid he can only do it after he is promoted to a higher sequence. The current Klein has limited control over the gray fog, and there is no way to draw out the silent power in this ball of light.

Perhaps, this really allowed Esther to find a way out by accident... The luck of the fellow is as good as ever.I must hurry up and get promoted, and I must not delay it. The longer this kind of thing goes on, the more dangerous it is.

Klein sighed in his heart, and the majestic voice of "The Fool" passed the long table and fell into Esther's ears: "Yes."

Esther's face showed joy, she stood up with a bright smile, and bowed respectfully to "The Fool": "Thank you for your kindness!"

Klein pressed down with one hand, motioning for Esther to sit back in her original position, and a deck of Tarot cards materialized in front of her, right where she could touch it as soon as she stretched out her hand.

"Every Monday, at three o'clock in the afternoon of Backlund's time, there will be a party here. Any material, formula or knowledge can be exchanged at the party, and the members can communicate by themselves. I have already drawn out a few code names that were occupied by others."

Hearing what "The Fool" said, Esther looked at the Tarot cards in front of her, and took out one at random.

This is a reversed card. Strangely, the face of the card is not the same as the image of the Tarot card in her memory, so Esther flipped the Tarot card to the front:

At the top of the card is a half-length figure shrouded in gray mist, but it is completely different from the image of the "Fool" sitting next to the table. You can only see a translucent mask engraved with strange symbols through the gray mist. A pair of monocles hanging on the right eye, and a pair of blurred eyes with overlapping shadows.

The hands of the half-figure, wrapped in a wide gray cloak, are outstretched, as if inviting the opening of a grand drama.

On the lower right side of the card is a young woman in a praying posture with her head bowed. Her soft shawl and soft hair are light cinnamon yellow, but she has no facial features, and there are only light shadows on her face.

Surrounded by firefly-like points of light, she stood on a silver-white river, from which branched silver threads protruded and converged between her folded hands in prayer.They seemed to form another strange symbol, but because it was blocked by the woman's hands, the complete shape could not be seen at all.

On the lower left side of the card, there is a young man standing. He is looking up at the half-length figure at the top of the card. The curly black hair of this man is scattered on both sides of the broad forehead, although the facial features are also covered by shadows. , but the monocle over his right eye glowed with reflection.

The man is holding a mottled and old stone slab in his hands. Behind him is a group of olive branches, thorns and withered flower vines. They form a twisted vortex from the inside out, and the hollows between the leaves seem to form eyes. In the innermost part, a group of gathering points of unknown meaning is formed.

The bottom of the card was surrounded by gray mist, almost submerging the feet of the two people on the left and right. In the middle of the two people, a brilliant light gate slightly stained with blue and black was exposed in the gray mist, composed of layers of countless light ball pose.

Esther's hand trembled, and the card slipped from her fingers and returned to the long bronze table.

She looked down again——

Is there anything unusual on the board?
The voice of "The Fool" came from the other end of the majestic hall:

"Welcome to the Tarot Club, Miss 'Lover'."
